I'm wondering how much functionality she has lost due to the missing tissue. Possibly nothing, but I'm guessing it doesn't quite work that way. I'm also wondering why she didn't try to dodge some of the bullets, or at least be already ripping through them while they were shooting. She certainly does look messed up though.

damn clever ghouls, but at least we know Maria is still hanging in there.

And Hook! Sure, he just wants to run away, but at least he's not dea... Er... Eaten.

Speaking of eating, when Jack chows down on someone's magical energy/life force, does he necessarily take all of it? I'm just wondering if this is necessarily a "someone stops him now or Thera bites it" situation. She's hardly an ordinary person, and I'm broadening that class to include invisible elves and the like who we already know Jack can drain like shot glasses.

I guess it's up to Maria to do something now, though, either way.

Life can be seen like chess, or pinball. In chess you try to win, thus ending the game, as quickly as possible. In pinball, the goal is to keep playing.

It would take him a fair bit longer to drain an Incarnate. So, no, it wouldn't be slash, gurk, dead Thera.
